There has been a great deal of debate surrounding just who sang the "aaaaaahhs" after Paul's line "somebody spoke and I went into a dream" from A Day In The Life. Well, Mr Charlie has sent me some evidence which, I believe, finally reveals the truth... it's Paul!

Now you can judge for yourselves - I've uploaded the two clips!! Please let me know what you think.

I've listened and listened.I've even tried playing them at the same time as you suggested (thus inventing a new game by using the start/pause buttons to see who gets to the end first!).I've read all the posts.I've seen Mr.Charlie take on the whole world and even fall in love with a mod.

Perhaps it was just convenient - remember they were only working with 4 tracks and the "aaahhhs" had much more delay than the lead vocal. Paul had earlier recorded his "woke up" segment with loads of delay on it also (an out-take does exist which proves this), maybe the "aaahs" were a continuation of that take.

The placement of the vocal wasn't arrived at until the stereo mix-down stage - this is when John's vocal was panned across the stereo image. There are various mixes available which show there was some experimentation with the placement of the vocals. So... I don't think the "middle" and "left/right" argument gives weight to either argument.

As a matter of fact, I have been playing this part of the song to several people who are familiar with the Beatles' work. ALL say it is clearly Lennon. One woman made the observation that some people like to be perverse, for the sake of appearing clever.

I tend to agree with her there. I'm not implying you, or anyone else in particular, is in that boat. But some certainly are.

I wasn't going to post this, but then I saw you had re-asserted your opinion, so I though I'd re-assert mine.
